CARROLLTON Carroll County sheriff's detectives found three sites Monday morning in a wooded area of Lee Road in Brown Township where methamphetamines had been manufactured.

Deputies found many waste products left behind from the manufacturing process.Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams said the area and the materials were reported by loggers who had been working in the area.

Officers found the areas reported early Monday as well as many dangerous devices and equipment used to make the illegal drug.

Carroll County officers were assisted by members of a specialized unit from the Holmes County Sheriff's Office who are trained and certified to break down and remove methamphetamine labs and the extremely dangerous materials that are left behind.

All meth lab-related materials were removed from the three areas and will be properly and safely disposed of, according to Williams.

"These items appear to have been at these three sites for some time. Methamphetamine manufacturing continues to be a growing problem, not only in our county but in other areas as well," Williams said.

Carroll County deputies and detectives were assisted in this investigation by the Multi County L.E.A.D. Drug Task Force, the Carroll County Emergency Management Agency, and the Carrollton Village Fire Department.
